Free Music Notes for Second Great Awakening
Free Music Review: True rock & roll awakening
Hit: 4 Stars
Shortly after moving to Atlanta in 2004, I caught my first show at the Masquerade. The show was Dio, Anthrax (back when John Bush was still in the band), and Fireball Ministry, who I had never heard before. I arrived midway through their set, so as soon as I walked through the door my jaw dropped and I gravitated towards the stage. Fireball Ministry's monster Sabbath/Soundgarden riffs hit me like a truck, but the melodic elements of their sound had me nodding along in no time. When I finally made it to the front I had to do a double take. Was this crazy heavy, thundering stoner rock guitar and bass sound being played by chicks? How is that possible? I know I'm being sexist, but how often do ladies deliver this kind of tough-as-nails rock?
Needless to say the band made quite an impression on me. As good as Dio and Anthrax were that night, what I went home thinking about was Fireball Ministry's set. I picked up The Second Great Awakening a few days later and was thrilled to find that the energy and power the band had on stage was firmly in place on their studio releases. The doomy riffs, driving rhythms, and melodic songwriting make the album as catchy as it is heavy. Songs like In the Mourning and Rollin' On sound like Master of Reality b-sides, and show a clear appreciation for the early Sabbath sound, and the rest of the album is just as impressive.
The Second Great Awakening is an always heavy, never boring, slab of guitar rock that should please anyone who's into bands like (early) Black Sabbath, Soundgarden, Cathedral, (later) Corrosion of Conformity, Brand New Sin, and Black Stone Cherry. It flat-out rocks, and that's really all that matters.
